General Motors Trademarks “Zora” Name: Exclusive

For those of you who grew up playing Legend of Zelda video games, you may remember the Zora tribe. This aquatic race safeguarded the waterways across the realm of Hyrule, and aided Link in his quest to restore peace to the land, and defeating the evil Ganon. But those of you who are Corvette fans will recognize the Zora name as that of Zora Arkus-Duntov, one of the fathers of the Corvette.

So it is with great curiosity that we’re here to report that General Motors has trademarked the “Zora” name, just this week, for use in “motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles.” Considering ZA-D’s significance in the Corvette program, it’s safe to assume that this nameplate will be Corvette-related somehow. But we currently have no idea what it could be. As always, continue to follow GM Authority for the latest updates on the matter.

Too be honest I would have used the Duntov name before Zora. It has much more heritage with the name used on the old heads on a flat head and the old performance Cam GM used to sell. But someone may already have the rights to it.

All too true. Now then, did you miss the HYBRID part? Both Porsche and BMW have them, with the P cars racing two different cars with at least one of them – probably both – entered in the big race in France this coming weekend. Bad to the bone..
